Established in 1986 to commemorate Coronado's centennial, Centennial Park is a charming waterfront spot offering panoramic views of the San Diego skyline. Once the docking site for ferries transporting cars and passengers before the Coronado Bridge opened in 1969, the park retains historical elements like the old ferry toll booth. Today, it’s a peaceful escape with lush lawns, colorful flower beds, and plenty of benches for relaxing or enjoying a picnic. Plus, it’s just steps from the Coronado Ferry Landing, making it an easy stop if you’re checking out the local shops and restaurants.

The small town of Guardiagrele is another great option for a short day trip, but it is not reachable by train, so visitors are advised to hire a car. It lies in the foothills of the Maiella mountain, and the stunning views of the surrounding region led Gabriele d'Annunzio to nickname the town 'The terrace of Abruzzo'.

This city, located 43 km from Lamezia, features the "Castello Normanno Svevo", which deserves to be visited on its own and has been turned into a museum that celebrates this Italian area as one of the pearls of Magna Graecia. Furthermore, the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Hipponion not only include a beautiful temple but also impressively high walls that were built to protect the province.
